Pre-order: https://tresorberlin.bandcamp.com/album/yet

yet is a slippery word in English. Amorphous, these three letters in different contexts can define contrast or emphasis, set a place in time, show an expectation that something will occur or, paradoxically, that it is likely to stop.

It is this mercurial nature that makes yet the perfect title for the latest @tresor compilation: the label follows on from the more explorative sections of 2021’s landmark Tresor 30 boxed set with a compilation, featuring 13 artists making music that resists easy definition.

Track 12 comes from @solid_blake, whose track 'Hexaghost' is a hefty, broken beat track of experimental techno, with Tresor the perfect landing spot for the Copenhagen-based producer's sonic palette.

Premiere: Solid Blake 'Hexaghost'

"OpenAI has company... the room full of monkeys has returned with the development of ChimpGPT. Natural language algorithms have been outmatched by natural simian energy."

Brooklyn duo Infinite Monkey Theorem's output matches electronic and instrumental influences to craft music aimed at the dancefloor. There's obvious doffs of the cap to IDM, breakbeat and leftfield club sounds but also elements of shoegaze, free jazz and soundsystem music bubbling up under the surface.

For their new release, ChimpGPT, the pair share five tracks of off-kilter club cuts laced with guitars and hypnotic bass lines. And it's all for a great cause too - they're donating all proceeds from the release to UN Women, the UN organisation who do important work to protect women's rights and end violence against women across the world.

@fixedrhythms @sweateronpolo

Fixed Rhythms is proud to welcome back to its roster one of their closest allies in sonic liberation, New York City’s Mali Mase, this time under his new techno alias MAL.E. Fixed Rhythms released Mali's "Travel International EP" under his beloved Sweater On Polo moniker. This go-around it's time to crank up the BPMs and stomp. This is serious techno but not for the serious techno chin-scratchers...calling all dance-floor freedom finders...hear the call and answer with your feet!

[PREMIERE] Passage 3 - MAL.E | Fixed Rhythms [2023]

‘Techniques 4 Life’ is a metaphysical adventure of sub-genres. Brainy and bouncy like Denzel’s sense of humor. It’s not necessarily about making something different per se, or having something to say. It’s more about filling your day-to-day, finding reasons to stay. Exploring techniques for life. First four tracks to come out from an era that’s marked by a paradigm shift in world-building.

Cybergirl #25

Hot off the back of his debut EP last year, Amsterdam-based ABE teams up with Vief for the London label’s fourth release of 2025.

Spanning afrotech, gqom, UK funky, Brazilian funk and much more, this four-tracker typifies everything Vief is about - championing the fresh, off-kilter sound that emanates from the pockets between strict genre boundaries. If you’re wanting some leftfield energy, look no further.
